Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 42E
Suppose a scientist repeats the Millikan oil-drop experiment but reports the charges on the drops using an unusual (and imaginary) unit called the warmomb (wa). The scientist obtains the following data for four of the drops:
Droplet Calculated Charge (wa)
A 3.84 x 10-8
B 4.80 x 10-8
C 2.88 x 10-8
D 8.64 x 10-8
- If all the droplets were the same size, which would fall most slowly through the apparatus?'
- From these data, what is the best choice for the charge of the electron in warmombs?
- Based on your answer to part (b), how many electrons are there on each of the droplets?
- What is the conversion factor between warmombs and coulombs?
